Why Should I Care? • Substance abuse affects everyone • Decreased funding trends • Prevention is cost-effective • Federal sanctions
Why Care (cont’d) • ATOD crosses many areas: (e.g. education, employability, law enforcement, insurance costs, family, etc.) • Collaborating for prevention helps agencies, individuals and society
3 Primary SPF Goals • Build effective communication links and coordination of services at state and community levels • Prevent onset and progression of substance abuse • Reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities
3 Cross-Cutting Issues • Childhood & Underage Drinking • Cultural Competency • Sustainability
SPF/SIG MOTTO THINK INFRASTRUCTURE!!
Thinking Infrastructure(Throughout the 5 Steps) How can systems(e.g. MDCH, OHSP, MDE, DOC, DHS) • Share data? • Identify mutual needs and services? • Integrate short-term and long-term planning processes? • Coordinate or link services? • Assess their effectiveness?
Michigan’s Goals • Increase communication, collaboration and coordination between state and community stakeholders • Assess current substance abuse service systems serving all ages • Enhance knowledge & skills of professionals and non professionals
Michigan’s Goals (cont’d) • Facilitate coalition development and growth • Assist informal community collaboration and /or grassroots involvement • Increase effectiveness of underage drinking initiatives
